    KWES now has the Tegna website layout. Pretty much all traces of Raycom are gone from it too now. I agree that Jacksonville is not a good place for a hub. If I were to pick somewhere, either Denver or Phoenix would be best, since they aren't in big hurricane, tornado or seismic areas that could immobilize a station.

    WTOL also has the Tegna website layout now (but not KWES yet - that should be very soon). That would eliminate pretty much any traces of Raycom at those stations.
  3. GoldenShine9
    They probably haven't looked that far yet. Since Gray lacks a station in Nashville, getting on one of the other stations there will surely be a high priority.
  4. GoldenShine9
    Probably a diginet for Gray's many stations.
  5. GoldenShine9
    That is probably the most unique station in America, and I'm sure they have resisted attempts for other companies like Nexstar and Gray to acquire it.
  6. GoldenShine9
    They may have planned to use that logo but instant backlash kept them to back down perhaps?

    I just noticed that KGWN has been rebranded Wyoming News Now (probably as it is taking over news for KCWY too). A very Raycom-esque name and graphic...

    That's one of the worst logos I've ever seen. They should have brought back the "Toledo 11" moniker, although a whole new logo would likely be needed (and, no, not the WXIA logo either!). The current KWES logo (taken out of the box) would fit well within the Tegna graphics though; I don't think they need to change the logo.

    Someone at Gray must have known that from day one.
  10. GoldenShine9
    And WJW as well? Although that may be asking for too much.

    With the competition in different shades of turmoil for the most part (or uncertainty), this may be WOIO's time to finally shine. So far, Gray has been a big step up from Raycom for that station at least...
  12. GoldenShine9
    Coming back to bite them there? Those stations have little standalone value as well.
  13. GoldenShine9
    Do we know that she was even responsible? I wonder how KXII will feel...since they are the sister station of the ones who fired her...

    One station that IMO badly needs a new logo (and graphics refresh?) is KWCH. Need to get rid of any traces of the old Media General era. Especially when it’s a descendant of a competitor in the market.
  15. GoldenShine9
    They definitely need to work on the news presentation too. Basically go the "opposite" of WKYC and Tegna without getting political or rough.
  16. GoldenShine9
    It's also the station that could use an upgrade the most - Raycom treated it as their "red headed stepchild" in their late days. It may actually be getting an improvement with Gray? Quite a few of the Gray legacy stations have old packages too; they could probably use an upgrade like that.
  17. GoldenShine9
    Other companies like Nexstar and Tegna have no problem putting the same graphics on overlapping markets though. It sounds like a KGUN thing, not a Scripps thing.
  18. GoldenShine9
    Media General, pre-LIN, was (if anything) worse than pre-MG Nexstar. A lot of stations languished in those days. You can see that most with a couple of the stations that broke away from it all: WSLS and WVTM. While the former hasn't had the ratings success yet (admittedly, its struggles went back to the Park era), that's due to competition strength, while the latter jumped from a distant #4 under MG to #2 today. Most of the other stations dropped in the mergers were ex-LIN or only with MG for a short time so they didn't really measure in the changes.
  19. GoldenShine9
    WTXL and KXXV now have the Scripps website design. Probably the graphics will be next, although if Scripps is getting a new package they may be a good place to test them out.
  20. GoldenShine9
    I believe WNDU was (and still is) the market leader in South Bend. KAKE has always been a distant third place station behind KWCH and KSNW (they tend to go back and forth).
  21. GoldenShine9
    But they still give them a stinging rebuke. Safe to say any new Sinclair deals are still DOA and they will have a grilling when it comes time to renewing licenses.
  22. GoldenShine9
    That makes it even more strange...I can speculate on a possibility but I don't want to here.
  23. GoldenShine9
    Are they also acquiring the Fort Myers-Naples stations?
  24. GoldenShine9
    This may be semi-OT, but why does Gray have so many stations that dominate in the ratings in their markets? That includes some that they have held for 10, 15 years or even longer-held legacy stations so it can't just be from acquiring them.
  25. GoldenShine9
    That seems rather weird, unless Nexstar heavy-handed them, since Gray doesn't own a station in Lafayette.
